My kids LOVE poptarts and for .25, I can't go wrong! Bring in your Cub Foods ad that shows Poptarts 5 for $5. Then print out the Target coupons for .75 off one Poptart! You can right click and copy/paste the below coupon in a word doc or you can head HERE to print them off.

Head to the left of the page and find the coupons.com words at the bottom of the coupons.com "ad". There you will be able to print off TWO Bic $1/2 coupons, by clicking on the back button. Now you can take these two Bic coupons to any store to get FREE pens or pencils when they are on sale for .50! You can also pair these up with the Target Bic $1/2 coupons that are HERE! So you can buy $1 items and get them for free when using the man q that you print and the Target q that you can print.

Of course check out the rest of the coupons to see what may save you money at the grocery store!

If you don't have any ECB's or Extra Care Bucks to start to "roll" with, you can start off small and pick up two items for .99. Pay $1.98 plus tax, then get those ECB's and then pay for two new .99 items with the ECB's that you just earned and so on until you were able to pick up all 5 items at CVS. At the end you will have paid $1.98 out of pocket (OOP) and end up having 10 items AND $1.98 to spend in the store next week on school supplies or whatever else you may want.

Now...wouldn't you like to be able to say that is all you paid for your children's supplies? Well, YOU can! You need to be able to take some time (which of course = money saved) and hit a few stores early in the week. Sunday is best, but we all have some plans or other during that day.

TIPS*Look at all ads including Office Max, Office Depot, Walgreens, CVS, Target, Walmart, and Staples. Oh...even Menards! You never know who is offering those items for FREE, pennies, or just plain CHEAP!

* Plan your trips so that you can hit several of these stores in ONE "round" trip so that you are not wasting your time or gas.

*MAX out on the deals as you know that they kids are going to need these items again in the middle of the school year. You can also donate to your classroom teacher for those kids who can't afford supplies.

*Go in JUST for the "loss leaders" or things that are CHEAP or FREE and get OUT! Don't look around...you are wasting your time.

*See if there are any printable coupons out there for school supplies. If there are, I will be getting them on my blog. You can always check out the coupons.com spot to the left weekly as the coupons do change. Here are some HOT off the press school supply coupons for Target, but remember...you can price match. Hmmm I see FREE Bic products in my future! LINK

*If you are a fan of Target, you can price match other places ads at Target now. So if Crayola crayons are advertised at Walmart for .25 and Target has the identical item, you take in your entire Walmart ad to Customer Service and ask to price match.

*REUSE items from last year. Kids don't need everything to be new each year. So see what you still may have from last year!

*Follow the school list if you are grabbing it all at once or even picking it up a couple of items at a time! When teachers say they want plain folders, then get just the plain folders. Teachers do this for a reason.

*Clothing~Check out Goodwill, Ebay, Craigslist, Plato's Closet, Kid's Rack (Champlin), etc for school clothes. Believe it or not, but you can get some good deals. You can also head to Kohls or Kohls.com and give them your email addy for a FREE $5 off anything coupon that comes in your email! Sign up also for your child's favorite store! Then be on the lookout for clearance of summer items.

Yep..they are having a special sale Tuesday 21st to Thursday 23rd. There are 4 items that are free after rebate in MN. THOUGH you must purchase an additional $10 to get the rebated items. Limited to stock on hand...so GO soon!

Target has Smart Ones that run from $1.99 to $2.49 for one. Some people are reporting that their stores have these on sale 4 for $9, but a gal on AFC stated that they should be on sale 5 for $10 on the 26th. Either way...this is a great deal when you start to add coupons on top of it.

Head to AFC's Generator LINK and look for the Smart One's coupon. You will need to print out 10 of them. Then head on over and fill out the info here to print out TWO $4 off 10 coupons (just hit the back button) LINK or TWO $1/5 coupons LINK.

If you get to CVS and find out that they have run out of the items, don't start running to other stores. Ask for a raincheck for the items that are out. They will still give you the sale price and the Extra Care Bucks that you should earn. Plus, these rainchecks don't expire, though you might want to grab the school supplies as soon as they come in...it may be a seasonal item.

This is another great coupon from Bath & Body. You get a FREE Lip item, up to $12, when you buy anything in the store! LINK to coupon! I sometimes wonder if they put these coupons out when they have an overstock of items. LOL Hopefully you can start your own overstock of the lip item!

Yippee! I went searching and found another site that will let you print out coupons...REDPLUM! Right now there are 18 coupons that you can print (with zip code 90210), but they change each month. Spend less, get more with free printable grocery coupons. Click, print and save... Redplum.comcoupon coupon

Once again, it is that day to indulge in our chocolate fantasy for FREE! If you have signed up once before, you can sign up again...up to 4 times per household! If you already signed up for your 4, sign up a neighbor or a parent or a co-worker or a sibling, etc. LINK Give them the gift of CHOCOLATE!

It is that time of year again that the toys are going on clearance at Target. Now granted there aren't many coupons or cupons(new spelling for some LOL) for toys, but it is time to stock up for fall birthdays and Christmas presents.

Right now the toys at Target are 30-50% off original prices, but soon you will see them down to 75% off. Want to know when? Well according to a few people who wrote it down last year, it should be towards the end of July. Normally they start markdowns on a Thursday, but it depends on when they get the orders from the higher ups.

Keep up to date on when toys start to go on clearance with other Target clearance fanatics HERE!

Today is FREE Arby's Wednesdays at participating locations. Get a Free Regular Roast Beef with any soft drink purchase. THOUGH I am wondering if you can get TWO FREE sandwiches by using the coupon HERE?!?

I think I am going to try this today! By the way...the above coupon has a rolling exp date, which means that it keeps changing!FREE Arby coupon WednesdayFREE Arby coupon Wednesday

Rebates are a great way to try something for FREE! The only thing is that the manufacturer is hoping that you will purchase the item and forget about doing the rebate associated with it.

So you go out and purchase the item for the rebate and RIGHT after you get everything put away, you need to fill out the form. Many forms will want you to send along the receipt and the UPC of the product. Get an envelope and get those items in there ASAP. Fill out the form...add a stamp...send in the mail. In about 6-8 weeks you will get a rebate check in the mail for the item that you bought. Not bad for the cost of a stamp!

Try it out the next time that you go to the store. There is a rebate out for Tyson Skillet Creations. Click here to receive your rebate form for one Tyson Skillet Creations meal kit by mail, up to $4.99 value. IF it is over the $4.99 value you will not get more. BUT....

To save even more and make back that stamp, grab the coupon from the June 7th SS for $1/1 exp 9/7/09 or print the coupon HERE. You must purchase between 7/10/09 & 10/31/09. ENJOY!

I took one that I did before and one that I just did today. As you can see, the first pic in the book can vary in size. You get to choose the first page AFTER you are done choosing the other pics for the album. As I said before...CHOOSE MORE THAN YOU MAY THINK! You can always delete, but you can NOT add pics once you started or you have to start over.

Choose a background first. You can choose one kind or a group of them. You will have the option to change the background once you are in there, BUT only to the group that you first chose (as far as I know). There are many groups and in some of them, there are up to 5 different kind.

The computer will put on the pictures on the pages, but DON"T freak out. You can move them around.

Look on the right hand side and there should be a edit button. Click on it and about 10 new buttons pop up! Here is where the fun begins.

IF you don't like where a pic is on the album, find the "move, edit, delete" button (not exact wording). A new side screen will pop up and you move a pic to the gray box. Move to the page that you want and drag it to the page that you want. You can only put ONE pic in that gray box at a time.

Once you get back to the edit page with the 10 buttons, you can shuffle pics around, change the background color, make pics smaller or bigger, crop photos (so don't crop them before...waste of time), and add text.

Remember that if you are just starting out with little or no ECB's, it is okay to do smaller transactions to "roll" or use your ECB's into other products. Say you buy 2 of the glue @ .99 = $1.98 you pay and then get $1.98 back in ECB's. Then turn around and buy 2 of the notebooks @ .99 = $1.98 and pay with the $1.98 ECB that you just got from the glue. Total will be 0 and you will receive $1.98 back in ECB's or Extra Care Bucks.

LINK FREE Bolthouse Baby Peeled Carrots when your total is $25 BEFORE coupons AND $1.49 Fresh Express Complete Salads (no minimum to purchase). Both are limit one. Print these out now and have them on hand when you go shopping.

Here are a few codes to use at the red box kiosks for FREE movies. Just head over to the nearest Redbox, pick out your movie, and enter the code on the check out page (bottom of the page). You can use EACH code only ONCE, BUT you can use it for EACH CC, Debit Card, etc that you own.

It is a great place to go and now you can save some money while going there with your kids. You can print out one for each person for the FREE Water War coupons (no copies, but can print as many as you want). You only need one of the $3 off any ticket package coupon and it can be used up to 6 times.

Bummer...but I was just informed that these coupons are good only in UT and ID.

Head to the left and click on the by coupons.com link (bottom of the box for coupons.com) A new window will pop up and type in zip code 83642. Look for the milk coupon for .75 any milk! Print off two of the coupons and head to Rainbow as they have milk for $1.59 a gallon!

Look for the .75 off 4 any size yogurt and $1 off any two pounds of cheese too!

Plus..you can print off the $1 off Goody coupon to use at Walgreens. They have them free after rebate.

GET A FREE PINT ~Starbucks Ice Cream ~to yourself or a friend on Facebook!! LINK

All you have to do is fill out the form to request it, they are giving away over 800 per hour through July 19. So if they have already maxed out the over 800 for that hour, then just try again at another time. Early morning and late evening would be the best times to try.

**You DON'T have to sign up for a new account if you have one ~ Just SIGN IN**

This promotion will gain speed as the word spreads (which it seems to have done already), so you'll have to keep trying!!!

The pics below and above represent the "damage" I did in one afternoon of shopping! Total would of been $261.51 and I ended up paying $6.00! First pic I paid $4.71, second pic .69 and the last one .60! A savings of 98%! Did it take some planning...no not really. I tend to think on the fly, but I did know about some of the deals before hand from Afullcup.com

Unless you live in Duluth! I think that there is one other city, but I can't remember the name. I actually called Kmart and complained that we, in the cities, got pushed to the side once again. We need to save also and get some free stuff. So if you are wanting Kmart doubles to happen in the cities again, please give them a call or write to them. MAYBE, just maybe, they will hear our pleas and give it back to us. We haven't had doubles for at LEAST 3 months!
